  • Pre-acquisition services

    Before closing any deal, both parties need to analyze a range of risks to minimize potential loss of deal value. These risks may include fraud, bribery, corruption, restrictions on trade and export, other conflicts of interest, third-party integrity, reputation, and regulatory investigations. We help organizations mitigate these risks during drafting and before signing to help protect and deliver transaction value.

  • Post-acquisition services

    Uncertainties related to valuations, working capital adjustments and earn-outs, along with increased investments in emerging markets, expose transacting parties to significant risks even after the deal is completed. We help organizations mitigate and resolve post-closing disputes and ease the purchase integration process by conducting appropriate risk mitigation exercises.
